Care for people with serious illness
We will come to you. Support is provided in your home or at the hospice centre.
Care for families and caregivers
Our services are designed to help you through this time.
Care in residence for end of life
Our residence offers a home-like setting for care during the final weeks of life.
Care for people living with grief and loss
We offer groups and one-on-one support to help you cope with grief and loss.
Over 35 years ago, a group of volunteers envisioned a community where no one faces serious illness or loss alone. They founded Dorothy Ley Hospice, bringing hospice palliative care to Ontario.
Today, we offer compassionate, tailored care from diagnosis to end of life — whether at home or in our residence. We also provide grief support for those connected to our hospice or anyone in the community.
Thanks to our donors, volunteers, and palliative care team, our services remain free and accessible.
When you need us, we’ll be here — ready to support, welcome, and care for you.
